Ideal location right on Flathead Lake!

This beautiful and comfortable lake home has all you need for a fun and/or relaxing week/weekend getaway. 73 miles north of Missoula's airport (MSO) and 51 miles south of Kalispell's airport (FCA) it is conveniently located off of Hwy 93, just 10 miles north of Polson.

Polson and Bigfork are both fun tourist towns with shopping and good eating. Glacier National Park is 72 miles away providing gorgeous sight seeing of majestic mountains and wild animals.

Start your weekend off with an early morning fishing expedition. Top that off with a bite to eat in Polson followed by an afternoon of 18 holes at the Polson Country Club. Cook those fish up on the grill by the lake back at the house. Finish your day off with an evening boat ride on Flathead Lake. The next day you'll see lots of wildlife when you drive through the Bison Range and go on a guided horseback ride through the Mission Mountain Range. Your day will be complete after you ride the level 4 rapids on Flathead River!

Some places of interest include:
* Glacier National Park
* Big Mountain Ski Resort
* Blacktail Mountain Ski Resort

Fantastic location and beautiful spot.

This was such an ideal spot. The water was perfect to wakeboard and tube. The house was lovely and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The protected dock was perfect and we were able to keep the boat in the water. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

Amazing location

The property worked great for us, better than we imagined. Our first trip to Montana, we went to Glacier National Park, explored around Flathead Lake and enjoyed the property. It would be hard to beat the views. The communication with Sherrie was good, quick response. We will definitely visit Montana again and would love to stay here again.

This home was amazing!! The views of Flathead Lake are postcard worthy. This was the perfect place to recharge, and reconnect. We unplugged and took in the amazing wildlife, sunrises and sunsets. This home had kayaks that came in handy as we paddled around the lake. We fell in love with Flathead Lake and will definitely be returning.

This is the perfect vacation rental! Beautiful, comfortable house and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Not only all the kitchen, bathroom and laundry essentials but even a drawer with useful items like tape, scissors, rubber bands etc. We didn’t use them but having access to a paddle boat and kayaks is a wonderful amenity. The location couldn’t be better, right on beautiful Flathead Lake. Our host Sherrie was a pleasure to deal with, responding to texts within minutes. I can’t recommend this property highly enough and hope to return soon!

Such a great location with stunning views of Dream Island and the Mission Mountains. Quiet. Calm water in the morning and evenings for great stand up paddling boarding. The kayaks and Paddle Boat at the cabin were put to good use every day. Beach and dock very nice. Great place to swim, too. We rented a boat about 5 minutes from the cabin and then went hiking on Wild Horse Island where we saw Bighorn Sheep and wild horses. A great week!

Perfect in every way!

Wow! What a trip! This house is perfectly located in a quiet bay on Flathead Lake. The house was the perfect size for our family of five (plus a friend). The location is right on the waters edge which couldn’t have been better for our busy kids who enjoyed spending every minute they could in the water. The house has water toys to use! We were thrilled! Two kayaks and a paddle boat plus life jackets! The kitchen had everything you might need - which we did since we cooked every meal that we were there. The hosts are great - they even leave a special something upon your arrival- which won me over immediately! We loved it so much we tried to book it for next summer but the dates were already booked! So, if you see this place and it has the dates you want you should book it! You won’t regret it!
